I'd trade the rest of my life in for just 3 months of good health!

No, just mis-attributed. That's what medical professionals say, but a lot of them don't really mean it, it's double-speak. There's also different degrees of belief so for example a patient could have 7/10 deteriorative pain, the doctor says they believe the symptoms are real but only believes...

I used to have one of these back in 1994, when I moved out to a house with no carpets in 2013 I cured my asthma. If no body hoovers the floor for a few months my asthma comes back. See this Reddit post by a doctor: https://www.s4me.info/threads/interesting-reddit-threads.33977/#post-484101

https://old.reddit.com/r/JuniorDoctorsUK/comments/14zx7um/pulse_row_reignites_nice_mecfs_guidance_as/js0m6t5/ Apparently most of us are just subconscious malingerers.

I use to believe in the concept when I was 21 based upon little more than some body in authority saying it was real and also being fooled in to thinking I was experiencing it, which I'm now embarrassed to admit. So what about you guys, have you ever believed in it and if so, what convinced you...

I think this is misleading, these researchers think that ME is a mind/body disorder, something that they have no objective proof of.

That's really not in the spirit of free speech and to be honest I'd rather these clowns show their true colours so that we know what we're dealing with and have a record of what's been said, than have medical professionals and BPS researchers keep quiet due to political correctness but still...

The treatment for ME is consideration. I've been bed bound since 2013. My severity is due to Consequential Progression / Deteriorative Progression, years of inappropriate housing, lack of care, and an inappropriate sectioning in 2014 where they starved me until I walked to the canteen. If I was...

Why didn't you say anything, are you afraid to lose your job?

@Three Chord Monty That's actually closer to the real figure in my opinion, the 2014 London criteria by Charles Shepherd gives a prevalence figure of 1 per 1000 (0.1%) so that makes 67,330 ME patients in the UK (Google tells me the UK population is 67.33 million).

To be fair is he ever publicly challenged by a worthy opponent? I mean the interviews I've seen him in have always been a situation where he is called in as an expert witness with no opposition to set the record straight. That's why I made the Challenging Skeptics thread, there needs to be a...

I'm witnessing a debate about FND upon Reddit and somebody posted this meta analysis / review as proof of the concept of FND: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8418342/ , Apparently it was used as a reference in Suzanne O'Sullivan's book about FND. Would any of you care to comment?

Merged thread Interesting Reddit Threads This is a general thread for people to post Reddit posts/threads, preferably related to ME or similar misunderstood conditions. I'll start: https://old.reddit.com/r/ChronicIllness/comments/14fo630/i_tried_a_strategy_for_getting_testmedications/jp6szq0/

That study does not disprove that some MCS patients experience olfactory PEM just like some ME patients experience PEM from bright lights or noise.

I just checked that out and it was published in The Lancet, which does not surprise me any more.

https://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/regulation/doctor-leaders-to-hold-vote-of-no-confidence-in-the-gmc/ The GMC definitely need replacing...for letting doctors get away with quackery surrounding ME and other unexplained physical syndromes. Decades of bad science and neglect have worsened 1000s of...

They're hypocrites (The worst in medicine) just like that Pseudoskeptic Ben Goldacre.

I'm beginning to think that most of the medical profession don't really believe it, they just pretend they do to placate the patient, it affords them plausible deniability. "We're not saying your symptoms aren't real"...Sure.
